Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods are provided to manipulate phagocytosis of cancer cells, including e.g. leukemias, solid tumors including carcinomas, etc.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of increasing the elimination of hematopoietic cancer cells by phagocytosis in a human subject comprising: administering to the subject a first monoclonal antibody specific for a marker of the cancer cells other than CD47 which comprises an Fc region capable of engaging Fc receptors on phagocytic cells to signal phagocytosis of the hematopoietic cancer cells, and a second monoclonal antibody that prevents the binding of CD47 to SIRP alpha and increases phagocytosis of the hematopoietic cancer cells by the first antibody. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first monoclonal antibody is an entire humanized, chimeric or human antibody. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first monoclonal antibody specifically binds to an AML stem cell surface marker. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the hematopoietic cancer cells are AML cells. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second monoclonal antibody is an antibody that specifically binds to CD47. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second monoclonal antibody is an entire antibody. 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second monoclonal antibody is a binding fragment.
